Apparently the "Entourage" cast finally hugged it out. Deals for four of the HBO series' five stars, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Kevin Connolly, have been reached, Deadline reports.
"It's a go. Love you all," series creator and the film's scribe, Doug Ellin, tweeted on Monday along with a picture of him and the cast.
Jerry Ferrara, who plays Turtle, also tweeted, "I am proud to announce the #Entourage movie is officially a GO! Have to thank @wbpictures and @HBO for all the support to make this happen!"
According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, it was Piven's deal that angered some of the other cast members. Piven signed a deal that included a portion of the movie's backend. Earlier this month, Grenier wrote on his Instagram account on Oct. 17 that it wasn't about the money, but about equality.
"The spirit of Entourage is about sharing the opportunities given to us and I will sign any deal that gives ALL the boys an opportunity to share in the upside of success EQUALLY. I assure you, despite the perception, there is no greed in my heart. Remember, it will all work out in the end. It always does."
The details of the new deals are unknown, but all four stars are reportedly getting a piece of the backend.
The "Entourage" movie is slated to start filming in January, after Piven finishes filming the second season of his ITV/PBS series "Mr. Selfridge".
